6:47 am
x-factors, on the show they say that producers haven't talked to her about joining the show, over to dave. >> dave: thanks, al ali, took 18 days of protests, forcing their president to step down. and iran urged to do the same. a mass protest tomorrow, but the government is taking extreme steps to silence them. will it turn into another situation like egypt? joining us is an expert on iran and good morning to you, lisa. >> good morning. >> i want to talk about what could happen tomorrow, but i am stunned by of number of executions already happening in iran ahead of these protests. tell us how many have happened in the new year and why are these people being executed? >> you know, the town stands in the way of the people.
6:48 am
the government uses scare tactics all around and round up dissidents and journalists and execute and since the post election demonstrations of 2009, there have been more executions than ever. they say every nine hour somebody is executed in iran and this is to set an example to tell the people not to go out there, not to make the demonstrations and they know what to expect on monday so my sources have told me that already, it's obvious that there's beefed up security all over tehran and they really are cracking down ahead of time this time. >> these executions are approaching genocide. tell us aside from that, with a do you expects to happen tomorrow in iran? i'm told at least 30,000 joined the facebook movement to say they will protest. what do you expect? >> yeah, absolutely. we've heard a lot of my sources told me that they expect the crackdowns, but they're going out despite the facts and the sentiment in iran right now is the egyptians do it, we can do it,
6:49 am
too. and there's a lot of resentments towards the united states not supporting the movement in 2009 and recent the government for trying to hijack or misguide the egyptian revolution to make it an islamic one. now, the people, they did not go out on friday be, which marked the anniversary of the islamic republic and making it a point to go out on monday to say that they're not only solidarity with the people of egypt, we hope to copy what they did and again, if they did it, we can do it, too. >> dave: they're painting tahrir square all over. how bug a role will the u.s. position in their support of the protesters in iran play in any attempted revolution? >> i think it's going to be huge right now. i think the iranian people are really looking to the united states right now and they know that if they are to do something and are to make demonstrations once again, that this is the time. that if the united states puts full support behind the egyptian people that they owe it now to the iranian people as well and they really are
6:50 am
hoping to make a-- start by doing that on monday morning. >> dave: i think that robert gibbs and vice-president biden showed us a possible approach the u.s. will support, the protesters. lisa, thanks for your insights. coming up, a new report says errors among air traffic contollers have doubled in the last few years, a man who was an air traffic controller for 25 years, what he says needs to change to keep our skies safe. and charlie sheen takes a break from rehab to preach the dangers of drugs at a college baseball practice. the benefits of chocolate milk, he explains. you won't believe this.

6:52 am
6:53 am
>> all right. a new report may scare you
6:54 am
away from flying. the f.a.a. reports the number of errors by air traffic contollers have doubled in the last year. >> clayton: that's shocking. more than 1800 operational failures from september of '09 to september 2010, just two years ago, there were roughly after that. bob richards was an air traffic controller for 25 years and he's the author of the book "secrets from the tower" and joins us this morning from significant. what is going on here? >> well, first of all, it's a few factors that contribute to these. i don't think that in one year, all of a sudden, it's doubled. you've got to kind of look at some of the factors, one of them was a program two years ago, asset by randy babbit and the f.a.a. similar to the ones used by the pilots in the nasa program. they had a situation they thought it was a near miss and something situation, and they could report it without any, you know, immunity from any type of punishment. they basically applied that program now to contollers. and so what's happened in the last two years is, af he got everybody, whether it's a near
6:55 am
miss or not or even close, they want to, they don't want to take that chance and they'll file out the report and say, you know, we think this might have happened and we'll need to investigate it so they do. so this leads to an exorbitant amount of paper work and there's some validity in some of it and most the time, people don't want to get caught up with it. >> it sounds like what you're saying, that instead of reporting and that should be comforting to the flying republic and some of the stuff you've told us what goes on and say that the contollers are younger and less experienced tan they were in the past and why is that happening? >> well, that's pretty easy to say. back in 1982, we put down 10,000 new contollers if you recall after the strike and come 2007, after three years ago, when they're all retiring and they've been retiring in droves over the last two years and the unfortunately part about this is. we should have been replacing these people back in 2004 and 5, so that we wouldn't have be
6:56 am
doing this all of a sudden while people are retiring and you asked me, why is that? it's simple. i mean, who is going to train these people if they're retired? train inexperienced people with people with no training? the people in the new administration are trying to recognize this and find where to keep people on to do that type of training. but in reality, when you overturn the work force, you're still going to have the work force going from 20 years plus experience to less than ten years experience in the next ten years, that's reality. >> alisyn: that's scary. >> clayton: before would he let you go. we're out of time unfortunately and your book is made into a television series and one of the stories from the book that will be in the television series, is that sports teams towelly being withheld from flights so that other people could in fact do better on this. and check out the book, we appreciate it. >> alisyn: thanks so much, bob. coming up, newly revealed information that may show a big rift between the white
6:57 am
house and its own state department and that's why they handled the crisis in egypt in such a schizophrenic way and we'll explain that. >> clayton: entourage made him a big star. dave hangs out with actor jeremy piven in the next hour.
